Quand il pleut, il pleut

The moment a bungling officer shot his colleague nine times during a drug sting is captured in a video just released by a US police department. "Oh s*** that was Jacob!" screams Lt Greg Brachle after opening fire on the undercover detective during the January 2015 mix-up in a McDonald's car park in Albuquerque. Jacob Grant, 38, survived, though he lost 80% of his blood and suffered injuries to all of his major organs as he was shot in the arm, shoulder, chest, abdomen and hip. The footage was released a day after the city of Albuquerque paid a $6.5m settlement to Detective Grant, who has undergone multiple surgeries since the shooting. The white officer and another colleague were in a vehicle with two black drug suspects, who were surrendering as officers moved in. Lt Brachle approached the car, which had tinted windows, and opened fire as one of the rear doors opened. "Holy s*** it's Jacob! ******* me!" Lt Greg Brachle screams as he realises his near-fatal error. "I didn't know it was you," he howls. "Hang in there, bro. I thought you were a bad guy." "Are you okay?" he asks the wounded cop, who wasn't wearing body armour. Detective Grant replies: "No." As part of the settlement, the city agreed to pay the father-of-two's medical expenses for the rest of his life. He will be granted medical retirement. Lt Brachle retired after the Police Oversight Agency recommended he be fired. The agency found that he did not follow standard procedures and missed a crucial briefing before the sting operation. http://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/us/bun...cid=spartandhp |

How can you accidentally shoot a colleague nine times?
I suspect there's more to his motives that can't be proven, especially as he wasn't at the briefing on this particular case either, what was he exactly doing at that moment?

Same story - different victim. Just another over zealous, trigger-happy cop who was prepared to shoot what he thought was a blackman without observing any of the accepted codes of practice.
The key phrases in the report are: "a bungling officer shot his colleague nine times" "The white officer and another colleague were in a vehicle with two black drug suspects, who were surrendering as officers moved in." How does one justify shooting a man who is surrendering 9 times??????? I wonder how much compensation one of the black 'suspects' would have received HAD they actually have been the victim?

Accidents happen when guns are involved, law enforcement is dangerous. Hindsight has no danger

LT still adamantly refusing to admit that US cops can be trigger-happy is the icing on the cake."Anyone could accidentally shoot another cop NINE TIMES, accidents happen." Hahahaha... |

When police officers make mistakes people can and will die. Saying 'accidents happen' is a stupid copout (wordplay not intended).
If you're going to arm every police officer on duty with a gun then standards to be a police officer needs to be higher. There's far too many police officers in the US that should never be allowed to hold positions of power. |

The policeman shot what he thought was a deadly perp 9 times who turned out to be AN UNDERCOVER COP.
BIG DIFFERENCE but still lets get the usual suspects together to bait the police |

No, in fact, he didn't just shoot... He unloaded his entire clip on a closed car. That's not tactical, that is a panic reaction, and anyone who panics like that should not be holding a gun in the first place Ffs. Last edited by Toy Soldier; 02-04-2016 at 05:28 PM. |

Cop who shot fellow officer: I didn't know it was you Quote:
The officer doing the shooting was a Lieutenant and not an untrained rookie. Also, the Lieutenant had allegedly shot a man with his hands up in 1998.

I'm not sure who is baiting the police. This is yet another unnecessary shooting.

LT defends police officers no matter what they do, it's always the victim's fault, it's never the perpetrator's.

I was wondering if there would ever be an exception to the rule but apparently not. Even when the victim is also a cop. And the weapon is fired NINE times. Nine! Not nine random pot shots trying to get one hit - nine shots that all connected. At an obscured target. It's madness...

Victim blaming is always a dangerous attitude and one that should be discouraged. If we blame the victims then the perpetrators can be vindicated for their actions.

Long story short, A police officer shot another undercover police officer nine times because he was stupid and didn't follow procedure. The officer who was shot was never going to shoot the idiot cop who fired the gun, so saying 'you would rather the officer did not shoot and took a bullet instead?' makes no sense because the shooter was in no danger from the undercover officer. |
